Avvenire

Avvenire is an Italian noun meaning "future." In standard Italian, avvenire refers to what will occur and is used in formal or literary contexts, for example in phrases like "in avvenire" meaning "in the future." The term has also become the name of a national Italian daily newspaper published by the Italian Episcopal Conference (CEI).

Avvenire (the newspaper) was founded in 1968 by the CEI and operates as a national daily. It covers national and international news, politics, economy, culture, science, and religion, with particular attention to topics of interest to the Catholic Church and Catholic readers. The newspaper presents analysis and opinion from a Catholic perspective and aims to reflect Catholic social teaching while maintaining editorial independence in reporting. It publishes a print edition and an online edition at avvenire.it, which hosts articles, digital subscriptions, and multimedia content.

In Italy, Avvenire is one of the country's main Catholic daily newspapers and contributes to public discourse on social and ethical issues. It serves as a voice within Catholic media and provides coverage that complements secular outlets with a conscience-informed orientation grounded in Catholic social teaching.
